What is a good camber angle?
For a normal car you typically want to maintain a slight amount of negative camber (0.5 – 1°) to have a good balance of cornering grip, braking grip, and tire wear. On most vehicles it’s common to have slightly more negative camber (0.8 – 1.3°) in the rear to reduce the chances of oversteer (loss of grip in rear).

Where are the camber bushings on a Ford?
The factory camber bushings, located above the upper ball joints, alter camber by changing the ball joint stud angle. Your local Ford dealer or alignment shop offers these bushings for most vehicles in set increments of correction up to 2 degrees of change.
Can a camber bushing be rotated into caster?
With most trucks, if the full degree of correction is not needed for camber, the remainder can be rotated into caster. These are the adjustable camber/caster bushings for Ford IFS Dana 44 and IFS Dana 50 front axles.
How do you adjust camber on a TTB truck?
I use a very large adjustable wrench to adjust shims once installed. The shims on TTB will change camber AND caster at the same time when rotated. Getting factory shims out may be quite a project, especially on older trucks. Set camber at zero for both sides, ensuring bottom of upper ball joints are pointing back.
